SUBJECT: DRAIN MAPS

Identifying the cause of a leak coming out of a drain on a medium-size helicopter might,
sometimes, become a challenge. This Drain Map was put together in order to help you
perform this task. Following a drain line to find its origin is, at times, very difficult without
extensive disassembly, as the line disappears in the inner structure.

When a drop or a puddle is noticed as coming from a drain line, locate the drain line on
Figure 1 and/or 2. Each numbered dot on the figure represents a drain and is located
as accurately as possible in relation to adjacent structure. The size of the dot
represents the relative diameter of the tube. Refer to Table 1 and/or 2 for the rest of the
data.

The Description column in Table 1 or 2 gives a list of the items that drain to this tube or
the function of the tube (i.e. #1 Engine deck drain). The Meet in/at column states where
the different items drains meet. The item drain lines may then be separated to further
push the investigation. Finally, the Liquids column gives the potential liquids that could
be coming out of this drain, for reference. In the Liquids column, “Water” means
Drainage liquids and includes all other liquids as in the case of a deck drain.

These Drain Maps were elaborated using data from the later-serial number aircraft and
might be slightly out of accuracy for the earlier aircraft. It has to be used as a reference
only. Any additional question regarding these Drain Maps may be addressed to Product
Support Engineering, Medium helicopters.
